A Capacitive Quenching Circuit for Use with Single Photon Avalanche Detectors [PDF]
In this thesis a Capacitive Quenching Circuit (CQC) is modelled using Linear Technology's Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (LT SPICE). Key components are optimised and the entire circuit is modelled. Once satisfied with the simulation,
